Spectral and coherence evolutions were measured for supercontinuum (SC) generated in a 2.7 cm highly nonlinear tellurite photonic crystal fiber. Numerical simulations were performed based on the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with noise. The measurements show that coherence degradation first occurs after soliton fission, and then spreads to longer wavelengths as the average power of the SC increases. The solitonic coherence shows much slower degradation than the overall coherence.

The selective and controlled formation of nanocrystals in glass is emerging as a versatile method to achieve functional photonics, optoelectronics, and quantum devices, such as single-photon emitters. Here, we investigate the use of wide-field polarimetric second-harmonic (SH) microscopy as a method to rapidly and nondestructively examine nanoscale crystal arrangements in laser-processed glass. As a case study, we investigate tellurite glass, where the formation of a trigonal tellurium (t-Te) nanocrystalline phase after femtosecond laser exposure was recently demonstrated.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to optically measure temperature from the fluorescence of erbium:ytterbium doped tellurite glass, with fast temporal resolution at micron-scale localisation over an area with sub millimetre spatial dimensions. This confocal-based approach provides a micron-scale image of temperature variations over a 200 m 200 m field of view at sub-1 second time intervals.

Phosphor-glass composites (PGC) are excellent candidates for highly efficient and stable photonic converters; however, their synthesis generally requires harsh procedures and long time, resulting in additional performance loss and energy consumption. Here we develop a rapid synthetic route to PGC within about 10 seconds, which enables uniform dispersion of YAlO:Ce (YAG:Ce) phosphor particles through a particle self-stabilization model in molten tellurite glass. Thanks for good wettability between YAG:Ce micro-particles and tellurite glass melt, it creates an energy barrier of 6.

Active whispering gallery mode resonators made as spherical microspheres doped with quantum dots or rare earth ions achieve high quality factors and are excellent candidates for biosensors capable of detecting biomolecules at low concentrations. However, to produce quantum dot-doped microspheres, new low melting temperature glasses are sought, which require surface functionalization and antibody immobilization for biosensor development. Here, we demonstrate the successful functionalization of three low melting point glasses and microspheres made of them.
